I would like to create code (in MS Word 2007) that searches a document, finds some text, and changes the formatting of part of that text. More specifically:

Find: Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537
Replace: Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537

Essentially, I want to remove the italics from the comma.

However, I only want to remove the italics if the text before the comma is also italic, and the text after the comma is not italic.

Thanks for any help.
